@lisanjutras One I'm thinking about is Pnin on park bench, sees squirrel and has intimation of mortality. (Did I imagine that?)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@lisanjutras Here's the mystery. Scene very similar to one in Master&Margarita, which VN couldn't have read. M&M written 1928 published 19671 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@lisanjutras I could be totally wrong about this but I feel there is some hidden affinity going on.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@lisanjutras Likeliest thing is VN and Bulgakov were influenced by same people, which explains affinities.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@lisanjutras I suppose larger point is that VN was always imagining Russia (little bit of that in Pnin, more in Pale Fire and Ada).
